I'm now in the countryside but unfortunately I didn't have time to get my newest files copied to my usb stick, so the ripples will have to wait until next year.

Maybe the side walls of the upper part could be indeed a bit darker, except for the windows, but I guess that will look differently when specularity is applied to the model. Another small thing: In the original model there are two pits with a red and green light on the very top. I liked those But that's really just details, the model is fantastic.
Thanks guys
About the red & green lights: I was a bit torn from the beginning concerning this. Who in their right mind would leave exposed piping with lamps in the middle of a building, collecting water & dirt? On the other hand they do provide some nice details, but unfortunately pulling off fake lighting with an otherwise dynamically lit texture can also look a bit bad, so I took the easy way out...
